Chris and Savannah are the creative minds behind Sin City Creative—a media and branding company built on passion, authenticity, and partnership. Their journey started in Connecticut, where finding love sparked a creative alliance that led them into hotel ventures, content creation, and filmmaking opportunities from Las Vegas to Cancun. Together, they’ve redefined what it means to blend business and life, navigating the modeling world, tattoo culture, and viral social media moments while keeping their work honest and human. From late-night video shoots to road trip challenges and embracing AI in creative workflows, Chris and Savannah prove you don’t need a fancy studio to create meaningful, standout work.
